Tunga Nutrition

Tunga is a partnership that involves open-ended, Skretting-managed joint ventures with two indirect subsidies of Unga Group - Unga Farm Care (EA) limited in Kenya, and Unga Millers (U) Limited in Uganda.

Both ventures are named Tunga Nutrition, taking inspiration from the Swahili word Tunga, meaning “to compose”. Tunga Nutrition Kenya will increase production capacity at its jointly owned fish feed plant in Nairobi to commercialise these products under Skretting and Fugo brands.

While Tunga Nutrition Uganda will make use of Unga Millers’ dormant flour mill in Kampala, converting this into a state-of-the-art feed mill producing animal feeds and concentrates. Its products will be sold under both Trouw Nutrition’s Hendrix and Unga’s Fugo Brands.

This announcement furthers Nutreco’s commitment to its purpose of Feeding the Future and will strengthen the footprint of its business lines, Trouw Nutrition and Skretting, in East Africa – a core focus region as it continues to expand globally.

Unga Farm Care Limited

Unga Farm Care (EA) Limited is the region’s leading manufacturer and marketer of a broad range of quality animal nutrition and health products. Amidst the growing demand for fish protein to improve food security in East Africa, Unga Holdings Ltd–manufacturer of human nutrition and animal nutrition products – invested in the fish feed mill. Unga and Skretting have been working together since 2017. And have now come together officially to form Tunga Nutrition.
